    There's a bit of speculation that the 58 should be getting a clasp upgrade in line with the other models at WandW in a few weeks- I wouldn't normally hold off based on speculation but this does make...

    Some ITK chancer knocked out a photoshopped GMT with a black and grey bezel and lots of people are frothing at the idea that there will be a "Bruce Wayne" and I am considering abandoning this hobby.

    That's disappointing about the Phantom Thread. It's long been one our watchlist but we haven't got around to it.

    I've never had that reaction to Nightmare but I haven't seen it for 30 years.
